The right context People say a lot but what I learned is most of what is said, stated, and taught is not true. Can be I've changed or it is part of getting older. To me, it's not true the older I get the more I know. True wisdom comes with years (if we age). I feel disappointed about all the fake wisdom stored in my brain. Useless info, one-sided and far from objective. I guess that's why I feel annoyed by schools, United whatsoever, newspapers, MSM and even magazines and…
Way too high *What are you doing*, I asked the youngest. *Nothing* Nothing means anything special. We watched another DVD with 3 episodes of 'An Idiot Abroad'. It was partly funny but not all of it. We find it hard to laugh about someone else's misery. Being kidnapped in Israel with a bag over your head, and being dragged into a car is not what I call funny. Today is another day. Tomorrow it's back to school again which is a synonym for wasting time. I have 4 cans and each…
Big adventure 'An Idiot Abroad' isn't as bad as I thought it might be, although I do think his friends aren't the greatest and we do not share the same humour. Karl, (the "idiot") visits the 7 world wonders and to be honest I do share his opinion if it comes to a part of these wonders but also the fact that most art and wonders are only special because of marketing. The best example was a museum in Egypt so crowded that you could not see anything at all. Besides the fact…
Empathetic devil - scam! It was a **slow day**. No **party night**, just me figuring out the **context detector**. The price asked was **way too high** but offered for free. **Embark on a big adventure**, he said, just like me. If you are **contacted by aliens** it's no big deal, you don't owe me anything. You don't have 10k. Hey, why not promote this for me? A deal is a deal and never for free. Even with a **sympathetic devil** named Samual or Simon, you should not agree.…
Available to date *How long have you been here? What are you looking for?* She is shocked when she sees the photos of the candidates. Even the men 10 to 20 years younger look old and worn. She is still polite. If a question comes up, she answers it politely, but there is no chance of a flirt. Anyone who thinks that women don't care how a man acts or what he looks like is wrong. The endless overview of unkempt, decrepit, complaining men is still a long way off. *They all look…
Unusual relationship Staying in touch with other people, being close, open, kind, loyal, friendly or helpful is hard. No matter what others say: I am not a kind person. I have an anger inside that's frequently hard to control. That rage is deep inside my tummy right above a huge black hole. Doctor, I feel empty. I thought every demon and even the devil would have that. But since I know Lucifer I think he's different. Lucifer is the light bringer, he isn't evil. Can be he…
Supernatural conference? - A poll about travelling Do you like to travel or perhaps you don't? Do you make or did you make trips? Do you wish to travel to a certain place? Do you travel to or for your work, for pleasure or to visit a supernatural conference? Do you prefer to travel alone, with family or with your pet? Do you fly, take the bus or go by boat and where do you stay? These are a few questions asked. If you feel like it please, help out with this child's homework…
Wrong wording Does it matter what I say? You want me to speak out Say what's on my mind Pronounce each word clearly and loud Because you can't stand my mumbling. Guess what I figured out Indeed It's hard for me I don't know how to express myself Properly How to fit in and please. I struggle and fight to survive It's not because I'm getting older Or I'm chained to my house Neither I am dominated by a bad spouse. Although, my parents are great Their embrace warms my heart I…
What will it be? Will you celebrate New Year's Eve, I asked an acquaintance living in Marocco. I never celebrated it in my entire life, he answered. It sounds familiar to me although I can tell from experience it's painful to be forgotten during celebration days, especially if it feels like the entire nation celebrates and you are not. You hear people have fun, watch the drunks, see people hug, and use fireworks to scare the (bad) ghosts of the old year away to be sure to…
Letter Those good old days. There was a time when we wrote letters. We took time to sit down, write in neat handwriting and even had a special pen. A fountain pen like a Parker or another Parker. Back then penpals were what we, I, were looking for. Ads were found in newspapers and magazines. Those pen pals were rarely my age so all I could do was wait till I got older. Once in a while, I found a pen pal. My grandmother wrote back even though she was seriously ill. I no…
Protect the goblin It's a mess, Kate said and she was right. The entire floor looked as if the swap team of the FBI had taken over the place and had tried to wipe it clean. No worries the drugs are untouched, the nurse said, everyone over here it's medication time! As Sam entered the door the drug users were already lined up to receive Big Pharma's daily dose. Did you sleep well, Kate asked. Sam didn't answer he was baffled as he entered the floor. Who was so rude and had…
Contacted by aliens If I hear the word 'alien' I always think of Sting, the song he sang. It's hard to figure out why that song once impressed me so much that I will never forget it and an alien is exactly what he sang about. A foreigner is a person, unlike the rest of the society. Someone with different habits, norms and values. A person like me. I've been raised in a country, and society between people where I never felt at home, was never liked and always been the black I…
Display **Is it the weekend yet?** Damn, it was cold in the house today! I couldn't even manage to heat the small living room with the wood stove. **Outside** I used a hat, scarf and gloves and guess what it felt less cold than expected. Of course, I was busy plus I needed to carry the firewood inside. I'm a bit worried because there isn't too much and I have mainly large, thick pieces that hardly fit into my stove. Those stumps don't burn if there isn't a big fire. **What I…
Highlights Now we talk a bit more I have to say I do believe you are a sweet personality. So why don't you put down the cheese, close my fridge and sit down for a while? Let's talk. I won't charge you any fee. Instead of running like a thief, we could start a relationship. The tiny cheese runner bit his lower lip and let go of the piece of cheese. The owner of the house was a VIP and shouldn't have shown up at this hour of the day. Calm down I won't start a fight just…
Proclaim your love It gives me the shivers if you say: Stay, please stay. The thing is I can't since you take my breath away... literally. I can't breathe if I see you approaching me. I feel dizzy, sick to the bones. Why is it you ask me, want me to really like you and be with you 24/7? I told you I can't breathe! You are suffocating me! If you had only asked me once what I wanted, What I needed, but you just care about yourself. Love is blind it is true if it comes to you.…
Ticket to the other side Get out the sun is shining, it's another bright day! Right, he replied and turned away from the shining face that should easily enlighten his day if he hadn't been so depressed. It's a neverending story I suggest you two break up a friend said. Damn it girl you are too young to drag this man's burden on your back. He's a mill's stone around your neck. Please, do leave him asap. She felt sad. The friend was right and so was her family. He had tricked…
CPU Once I visited a hypnotist with my late friend. It was the strangest event I've ever been to. I couldn't help wondering why people fell for it. To me, it was a big scam (back then the word scam wasn't used. I even doubt if it already existed). But like every magician would say: *People see what they like to see. People like to be fooled.* It's not the magician who fools you but it's you fooling your brain. Nevertheless, it is interesting how the public responds if a…
Robbed I couldn't sleep and for those who can't just like me the night is long. Counting sheep? Trust me, it doesn't work. It's difficult to count if you can't see in the dark. I tried to lie on my other side but the wall was in my way and there was also a draft in my ear. My duvet was also way too small. Did I grow overnight? One thought after another ran through my mind. It's incredible how much a person needs to figure out. How do others clear their heads? Is there a…
Lion in the kitchen Once upon a time in a country that was coloured blue, green, red and all those colours in between, where the hills or if you like mountains could be seen and even climbed, a little girl sat on the steps, outside of the entrance because her mother did not respond as she called and rang the bell. Well, you could say that good happens to everyone and even why the little one wanted to go inside, since she wasn't loved not even liked and mainly scolded at if…
Flat *Doc wants us to say how we feel and invite...* Hey there, have a look at this place All that space Isn't that what you miss? Over here the grass is always ~~green~~ It's where wildlife still can be seen No need to watch your steps Feel free Have a walk outside, hug a tree No soul will fight Here you can do as you like It's fine if you run, scream, or go flat Being unnoticed is all that I ever wanted for me No need to ask if I ever feel lonely, Or if being surrounded by…
Hammer How else can it be that when I hear the word 'hammer' I think about Granddad, the only grandpa I can vaguely remember and got to know better long after he is dead by reading his travel journal to Israel and watching the photos he took. The man who was born at the end of 1800, in the 19th century didn't turn old. Although I could have known he wasn't the mean person they told me he was, since he did take me out for a drive in his Mercedes, or to visit an attraction…
Say cheese **Once I've grown a wing** or better two I'll fly, get out. Why should I stay? I like to see the sunrise for a change instead of lying down and hiding in a wooden shed, one that's not even able to save our lives like one of those decent underground bunkers. Any idiot can see that we are hiding in here, not only from the ground but also up in the air. I'm tired of being afraid. Don't you hear all those aeroplanes throwing bombs instead of food, don't you smell what…
Date - Let it bleed Hey, what are you guys doing? That's not the way! Y'all got nothing but sawdust in your heads? Come on, take off his clothes. It has to be done before the next shift starts. Bunch of idiots! They were used to swearing and when the boss appeared their ears closed automatically, but not tonight, not after they had been ordered to be present at the Unox meat canning factory at nine o'clock sharp. What the heck, said slaughterer Hank, he was the only one from…
Don't feed the aliens! **What is it**, I would like to know. A surprise, he said. If it came to Dad and surprises...I hesitated and didn't feel motivated to put my book aside. I'm reading, can't you see I don't have time to have a look at whatever it is you like to show me? Is it homework or pleasure, he asked. What about your surprise, I replied, can't it wait? It's getting late and I hate going out at the end of the day. You are not alone, Miss Grumpy. **Hiking or…
